"Do you know the kid who came here to look for the second bandit?" asked the family whose apples were stolen.
"Second brother, do you know who that child is?"
The second bandit said crisply: "His name is Jia Geng, he lives over there, and we often play together."
In fact, the two bandits were at home just now, but their family members didn't want them to go out and run around and play.
"Surname Jia? Could it be the family of Jia Dongxu who died a while ago?" said a worker from the steel mill.
"That should be it. Let's go and ask. This kid is so uneducated that he actually stole from our house!" The family whose property was robbed said angrily.
The two men walked out of their own courtyard in a threatening manner and headed straight for the Jia family.
The two of them happened to meet Yan Fugui who was guarding the door at the door, and Yan Fugui happened to know the couple.
"Li Gui, what are you two doing?" Yan Fugui greeted them with a smile after seeing them.
"It's Teacher Yan. I came here for something." Li Gui replied stiffly. After all, he came to someone else's compound to cause trouble, so he didn't speak to Yan Fugui as usual.
Yan Fugui found himself in a dilemma and felt a little angry, but he still did his job well on the surface and said with a smile: "Then you go ahead and do your work. You can come back when you have time."
Li Gui didn't say anything, but thought to himself, after I'm done with the trouble today, I'll see if you dare to get close to me again.
Under Yan Fugui's surprised eyes, Li Gui and his wife walked straight into the yard.
Yan Fugui also realized that something was wrong at this time, but he didn't want to get into trouble again, so he didn't say anything.
Before Li Gui and his wife came, they had already found out the location of the Jia family. After all, they lived nearby and knew the situation.
"Is this the one?" Li Gui's wife looked at Li Gui next to her and asked.
"This should be the one!" Li Gui nodded.
After Li Gui's wife got the confirmation, she stood outside the Jia family's door and shouted, "Is Jia Geng home? Is Jia Geng home?"
Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu and Bang Geng in the room were all frightened by the shout. The other person really came to their door.
Jia Zhang looked at Bang Geng and said, "It's okay, grandson, stay in the house and don't go out. I'll go out and take a look."
After saying this, Jia Zhang put on her shoes and went downstairs. Qin Huairu followed behind her. She had to persevere even with tears in her eyes because it was her son who had caused the trouble.
"Who is it?" Jia Zhang replied in a serious tone.
After Jia Zhang came out, she saw two people standing at her door and staring at her.
"Who are you? What do you want from my grandson?" asked Jia Zhang.
Li Gui's wife asked, "Did your Jia Geng go to our yard just now?"
Jia Zhang shook her head and said, "I don't know. Who knows where the child went to play?"
"Can you call Jia Geng out so I can ask him a few questions?" Li Gui's wife said politely. In fact, she was just a little skeptical at this time and just wanted to call Bang Geng out to ask him.
But Jia Zhang knew very well that Banggeng had just stolen the apples from someone else's house, so how could Jia Zhang be willing to let Banggeng out?
"Our family members are all asleep. Tell me if you have anything to say!" said Jia Zhang.
When Li Gui's wife heard this, she thought it was a lie. What kind of child goes to bed so early? Besides, he came here just a short while ago.
At this time, Li Gui and his wife also realized that it must be Jia Zhang who was protecting her grandson.
"Whose child goes to bed so early? Is there something shameful going on?" Li Gui's wife's voice became sharp.
Jia Zhang was not happy when she heard this and directly retorted: "Why are you so talkative? I said Banggeng fell asleep, so he fell asleep. What are you doing? Come and find our child!"
The yard was so lively that soon everyone in the yard gathered around to watch the fun.
"Sister-in-law Jia, what's going on?" Yi Zhonghai walked up and asked. After all, Yi Zhonghai always regarded himself as the boss of the compound, so he would take care of any problems that happened in any family in the compound, not to mention the Jia family.
Jia Zhang pretended to be ignorant and shook her head: "I don't know what's going on. These two people came out of nowhere and came looking for Bang Geng. Do you think I dare to let Bang Geng come out? Who knows who they are?"
Jia Zhang didn't care about anything and just turned the tables, because this happened in her own compound. With Yi Zhonghai's help, Jia Zhang was even more confident.
"You two, are you here to look for the child for something?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Gen and his wife.
"Just now, five or six of the apples I placed in the yard were lost. We asked around and found that only your Jia Geng had been to our yard!" said Li Gen's wife.
After listening to this, Yi Zhonghai did not rush to refute, but looked at the mother-in-law Jia Zhang and her daughter-in-law.
At this time, Qin Huairu took action. She didn't care about Li Gen and his wife, but looked at Yi Zhonghai with tears in her eyes and said, "Uncle, you have watched Banggeng grow up. This child is so honest. How could he do such a thing? This is not..."
Qin Huairu was not well educated, and she couldn't continue her words halfway through. In the end, she just kept muttering, "Uncle, you have to speak for Banggeng. This child is usually very sensible!"
Yi Zhonghai nodded, then looked at Li Gen and his wife and said, "I am the eldest uncle in this courtyard. I watched Banggeng grow up. He is a filial child. It is impossible for him to take your apples."
"So our things are just going to fly into the sky?" Li Gen's wife shouted loudly.
Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, Jia Zhang didn't care much. After all, this was right in front of her own house. She had nothing to be afraid of. She yelled at Li Gen and his wife, "What does it have to do with our children if your family loses something? If you raise a man, you have to blame our Bang Geng for it!"
When Li Gen and his wife heard this, they were so angry that their lungs almost exploded.
"Whoever raises a man knows! Only those who raise a man can give birth to a thief!" Li Gen's wife cursed Jia Zhang.
"You are the one who supports a man. Your whole family supports men! The things in your house were stolen by the man you support!" Jia Zhang scolded people without caring about anything.
Yi Zhonghai watched the two people cursing and even ready to fight, and immediately shouted, "Alright, shut up!"
After Yi Zhonghai's shout, the two stopped cursing and looked at Yi Zhonghai at the same time.
Yi Zhonghai certainly couldn't side with outsiders at this time, so he could only say to Li Gen and his wife: "Why don't you two go back and look for it, and I'll ask Bang Geng later, is that okay?"
Li Gui's wife was not willing to do that and started scolding Yi Zhonghai directly.
"Who do you think you are? Why are you asking me here? Just call him out and ask him face to face! If he didn't steal, I would write his name backwards!" Li Gen's wife pointed at Yi Zhonghai and cursed.
